JB,
Technology will assist in enforcing the law, i witnessed 4 accidents while driving to the coast last week that occured out of sheer ignorance and recklessness. Unfortunately majority were perpetuated by public service vehicles, there is blatant disregard for the law and disrespect of other road users as is the case in Dr. Ndemos analogy, i like what Citizen TV has been doing showing the traffic offenders on tv, beyond naming and shaming we need to act on those cases.
Best Regards
Technology is an enabler and as a tool cannot be left behind. You and I will never agree on this one so I respectfully agree to disagree.

I see technology as one solution not 'the solution' and I doubt anyone suggested that. It is quite clear that 'the solution' will take multiple approaches, so why reject technology when it clearly works irrespective of who originated the idea, which by the way does a de-service to the good Daktari since this forum is exactly the space for advancing technological solutions.
Sent from my iPhoneMichuki Rules is a good example of what you need to do. Good policy and subsequent execution.
The really important parts were No overloading/standing, Seat Belts, Regular Checks, Speed Governors and more importantly citizens resolve to push through and walk if need be.
We, as a nation then, had believed.
The problem I see with our current approach is where every problem has to be nailed in with our 'Digital Hammer' as its possibly the only tool we have.
